Persuasion

Worst Jane Austen adaptation I think I’ve ever seen. Persuasion is my favorite of her novels and that butchered it. The dialogue is cringe, Johnson should never been cast as Anne. It was a pretty movie though…if you watch it on mute you might like it. Henry Golding was perfect.

If you like the book, you probably won’t like this movie. It changes the characters completely and the original themes are almost completely forgotten.

However, if you haven’t read the book this could be a mildly enjoyable comedy.

6/10 I enjoyed this, don’t take it too seriously. If you are anticipating the perfection of 2005’s Pride & Prejudice you will be disappointed. I’d probably watch again.

Why was it so slow?

girl what was that, 0 Plot and tension between pretty much all of the love interests , also i gates that she broke the fourth wall every five seconds 😭

the magic that Jane Austen's movies make me feel might be surreal, every story holds so much softness and calmness. and this one is no exception, even if the pacing was too slow, it wasn't less for a single degree.
